@lalshareef@Nervana_1 Too little. Too late. And I don't believe he means it. The only things he will do are: 1) jack, 2) shit, and 3) appease harder and focus on combating "Islamophobia".
@realDailyWire Didn't he make a speech just maybe two weeks ago where he mocked Margaret Thatcher for saying that "the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money"?
A must listen. No one has done more than @Aizenberg55 to meticulously analyze and dispute the daily use and abuse of Hamas casualty reporting in Gaza that was then unquestioned and repeated around the world by the UN, MSM, hate mongers, useful idiots, and others.
@FoxNews Phenomenal how artfully she manages to be empowered, entitled and victim all at the same time. Really knows how to make the most of all worlds, even when contradictory.
@deancain Looks like socialism ran out of other people's money so much faster than expected. So what's the plan after the rainy day fund and retiree health benefits run out? At least they're getting free transportation, right?
This one is brutal, but a must read.
The Daily Mail just published testimonies of Gazan children being raped by Hamas-affiliated clerics at local mosques — and then threatened into silence by the Qassam Brigades.
A nine-year-old describes being led to mosque restrooms by a Sheikh who said he wanted to "give you something nice." "He took me to the restrooms and undressed me, took off my pants and had his way with me. I started to scream and then I cried," the poor boy said.
A ten-year-old recounts a cleric pulling down his pants and doing "filthy things" to him.
A third child came home bleeding and bruised from the head Imam of a mosque in Khan Younes.
When one father confronted the Imam, the Imam's response was that he'll "send Al-Qassam Brigades to you and they'll shoot you. We'll just say you were an Israeli collaborator." The next night, Hamas members showed up at his home and told the father to stay silent or "we'll wipe you off the face of the earth."
Another father in Deir al-Balah went to Hamas security with proof. They forced him to drop the charges, or be framed as an Israeli spy.
A former Palestinian Authority security officer explains rape is used as a binding tactic. It makes the victims and their families "obedient and submissive" to Hamas. "If you open your mouth they will destroy you and your entire household," he said.
This is so widespread it has a name. In Arabic slang, the perpetrators are called "mosque tennis players" — clerics who lure boys under religious pretexts.
According to Gazan author Hamza Abu Howidy, who fled the territory, the pattern is well-known: abuse, silence, and gradual conscription into the Hamas movement.
Add this to the Daily Mail's story last week of Hamas terrorists gang-raping widows in Gaza en masse, and you have what's clearly a sexual abuse epidemic led by Hamas.
Where is the outrage? Or is Palestinian suffering only newsworthy when it can be blamed on Israel?
@TheModerateCase@E_Barcohana You're right that Israel is horrible at PR. But SHE's right, that it doesn't matter if they had better PR it still wouldn't make a difference. Do you think the Jews in Nazi Germany could have fared better if they had better PR? We're in the same global ideological capture
@charliekirk11 Well, what do you think they mean by "globalize the intifadah"? They've been glorifying violent, murderous responses to ideological disagreement for at least a decade. It's exactly the intifadah spirit. Sow "resistance", reap intifadah.
“Palestine” is a European name. It refers to the extinct people we now call the Philistines. The root of “Philistine” was the Hebrew word for “invader.” The indigenous Jews (who were not European) called them that because the Philistines were indeed invaders—from Europe—who settled in and around Gaza.
The Greeks—also European—Hellenized the term to Palaistine to refer to the land. The Romans—also European—Romanized it to Palestina and renamed the Jewish homeland of Judea as “Syria-Palestina” to punish the indigenous Jews.
The name fell out of use for centuries until the British—also European—revived it when they took control of the area and called it “Palestine.”
Modern-day Palestinians, by the way, bear no relation to the ancient (European) Philistines. Arabs did not invade the land until centuries after the Romans had renamed it.
The branding of the “Palestinian” identity, as distinct from the broader Arab identity, had not yet occurred at the time the modern State of Israel was founded in 1948. That would happen years later as a strategy developed by the Soviets—who were also European.
